Fach detector consisted of 3 packagei ionization

The pipes with detectors and an unshielded detector were

enclosed in a thin aluminum dome so that the geometry of radiation
sources would be identical.
A field test was to be made of a prototype detector-recoriding
system as a part of the laboratory's long range development.
Miscellaneous gamna radiation measurements were to be made by
means of unshielded recording radiation detectors located on the
kingpost sampling platform, in the tridge, in the fireroom, in the
recorder room, and in Number 2 hold.
RESULTS
The raliation levels encountered by the two YAGs were too low
to supply data adequate for the satisfaction of all objectives.
The instrumentation performed satisfactorily, however many radiiation detectors were operating near their lower limits of sensitivity.
Where feasible, for subsequent particination, more sensitive detectors
were installed in place of the highest range detectors,
Relative Gamma Paiiation Fielis Contributel by Various Raiiation
Sources
Fig. 2.71-1 shows a rather rouch estimate of the air contribution
to the radiation field on the deck of YAG 40.

It should serve to in-

dicate the duration of fallout.
The accuracy of the preliminary analysis of the relative ccontributions by the various radiation sources does not warrant a presen-

tation of quantitative results at this time,
